No heavy whipping cream in this all-purpose dessert topping. Reduced-fat cream cheese is whipped with vanilla and sweet-hot crystallized ginger for a convincingly decadent mate to top broiled fresh fruit, a small slice of chocolate cake, or be tucked in a warm whole wheat tortilla

Ingredients

8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Â¼ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger

Directions

Whip ingredients in a food processor or with a hand mixer on high until smooth and fluffy.
